This Monograph reports a series of ten studies on the social-cognitive abilities of three young chimpanzees, ages to four years.
Compares outcomes to similar studies conducted on human infacts for a comparative understanding.
Looks at chimpanzees' abilities to understand and imitate goal-directed actions.
Results suggest that the ontogeny of human social cognition comprises two relatively distinct trajectories: one for understanding intentional action and perception, common to all apes, and another for sharing psychological...

Affen und Menschen teilen noch heute 99 Prozent ihres genetischen Materials.Trotzdem ist es nur der Menschheit gelungen, kognitive Fähigkeiten auszubilden, die so komplexe Gebilde wie etwa sprachliche Kommunikation und soziale Organisationen, Hochleistungsindustrie und entsprechende Technologien hervorgebracht haben. Wie ist das möglich? Gestützt auf zahlreiche Experimente mit Primaten und Kleinkindern, entwickelt Michael Tomasello ein Modell des menschlichen Denkens, das diese Phänomene erklären kann, indem er kulturelle Vermittlung als biologischen Mechanismus begreift. Die Ausführung...

Kinder sind von Geburt an hilfsbereit und kooperativ, lernen aber im Laufe ihres...

From the point of view of psychology and cognitive science, much of modern linguistics is too formal and mathematical to be of much use. The New Psychology of Language volumes broke new ground by introducing functional and cognitive approaches to language structure in terms already familiar to psychologists, thus defining the next era in the scientific study of language.
The Classic Edition volumes re-introduce some of the most important cognitive and functional linguists working in the field. They include a new introduction by Michael Tomasello in which he reviews what...
